By all accounts, I fall into the “new age” category of baseball writers and thinkers. I frequent Baseball-Reference.com and FanGraphs often, I believe in the value of analytics and sabermetrics and I know more about WAR (wins above replacement) and Twitter than I do about lefty/righty matchups and scouting. “Moneyball” is my favorite movie, for goodness’ sake.

For the fourth time in my lifetime, the Boston Red Sox are World Champions.

In Game 5 of the World Series, the Red Sox defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-1 at Dodger Stadium Sunday night, allowing them to win the World Series 4-1 in games.
